The Hummingbird Project (2019)

In the pulsating heart of our relentless digital age, director Kim Nguyen unfurls an audacious saga of ambition, obsession, and the unyielding pursuit of an impossible dream. Rooted in the concrete jungle of New York, we meet cousins Vincent (Eisenberg) and Anton (Skarsgård) – distinct players in the high-risk roulette of High-Frequency Trading, where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye. Their audacious dream? To etch a straight line of fiber-optic cable across the vast American landscape, from the wheat fields of Kansas to the bustling hubbub of New Jersey. This seemingly simple task holds the promise of making them millionaires, but the road to riches is fraught with complications. With Vincent's hustler instincts and Anton's intellectual prowess, they make an unlikely team, pushing each other to the brink as they navigate the treacherous path of their eccentric venture. Yet, their past is never far behind. Their former boss, the enigmatic and formidable Eva Torres (Hayek), looms over them like a storm cloud. A powerful trader with a toxic blend of manipulation and charm, she is relentless in her quest to outsmart them at their own high-stakes game. In this intricate web of ambition and rivalry, the cousins’ journey is anything but straightforward. As they slice through the heart of America, they discover that their quest for wealth is not the ultimate redemption. Instead, they find solace in the bonds of family and a reconnection to the raw, untamed beauty of the land they traverse. 'The Hummingbird Project' is a testament to human resilience and the unconventional paths we take in our quest for triumph.
